The Truth is Stranger Than Fiction

This week in class I mentioned the impossibility of knowing our final hour.  I said, "you never know when a cow might land on you and kill you."

One of our classmates then came across this article:

FALLING COW LANDS ON WESTLAND COUPLE'S MINIVAN

MANSON, Wash. -- A Westland couple celebrating their one-year wedding anniversary in Washington State barely escaped disaster when a 600-pound cow fell 200 feet and landed on the hood of their minivan.

The county fire chief says the couple were lucky they weren't killed by the cow that fell off a cliff as they drove on a highway on Sunday.

Charles Everson Jr. and his wife Linda were checked at a hospital as a precaution. The van was heavily damaged, including a broken windshield.
Charles Everson says he kept repeating, "I don't believe this. I don't believe this."

The cow had been reported missing by a breeder. It was euthanized at the scene.
